When inverts eat inverts..
Dontcha wish this is what would happen if an unwelcome hitchhiker made its way into your display tank?
National Geographic's POTD:  "A giant green sea anemone eats a red cancer crab in a tidal pool in Washington's Clallam Bay. These carnivorous invertebrates snare their prey by firing a hooked filament into their victims, paralyzing them with a potent neurotoxin before engulfing the unlucky prey."

I think my BRTA ate my coralbanded. He's disappeared completely and it's only a 20 gal. tank.
